1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
The unaudited financial statements as
of September 30, 2004 included herein have been prepared without audit
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. It is suggested that these consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2003
audited financial statements and notes thereto. |
||
2. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS | |
a) | Organization | |
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on May 26, 1999. | ||
b) | Exploration Stage Activities | |
The Company has been in the exploration stage since
its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.
It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.
Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to
actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage |
||
c) | Going Concern | |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. | ||
As shown in the accompanying financial statements,
the Company has incurred a net loss of $144,736 for the period from inception,

3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||
The financial statements
of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America. Because a precise
determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future
events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily
involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement.
|
|||
The financial statements
have, in managements opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable
limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting
policies summarized below: |
|||
a) |
Mineral Property Acquisition
Payments and Exploration Costs |
||
The Company expenses all
costs related to the acquisition and exploration of mineral claims in
which it has secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven
and probable reserves. To date, the Company has not established the commercial
feasibility of its exploration prospects, therefore, all costs are being
expensed. |
|||
b) |
Use of Estimates |
||
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from these estimates. |
|||
c) |
Foreign Currency Translation
|
||
The Companys functional
currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currency are translated
into U.S. dollars as follows: |
|||
i) | monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; | ||
ii) | non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate; | ||
iii) | revenue and expense at the average rate in effect
during the applicable accounting period. |

3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) | |
d) |
Income Taxes |
|
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 Accounting for Income taxes (SFAS
109). This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach
for financial accounting, and reporting on income taxes. If it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will
not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. |
||
e) |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share |
|
In accordance with SFAS No. 128 Earnings
Per Share, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing
net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed
similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is
increased to include the number of additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and
if the additional common shares were dilutive. At September 30, 2004,
the Company has no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded
in the earnings per share computation. |
||
4. | MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST
|
|
Pursuant to an agreement,
dated March 14, 2001, the Company has acquired a 100% interest in fourteen
mineral claims located in northwestern Elko County, Nevada, in consideration
of the cash payment of $10,052, and the issuance of 1,500,000 common shares
with a fair value of $15,000. Since the Company has not established the
commercial feasibility of the mineral claims, the acquisition costs have
been expensed. |
||
5. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
|
a) |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2004,
the Company incurred $9,000 (2003 - $9,000) for office facilities and
services to a company related by common directors. |
|
b) |
Accounts payable at September 30, 2004 includes $48,605
(2003 - $20,500) owed to a company related by common directors. |
|
c) |
The mineral claims referred to in Note 3 were acquired
from a company controlled by a director. |

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
Overview
The Company is presently engaged in the exploration of a mineral property in the State of Nevada. The Company has acquired a 100% interest in a mineral property known as the Burner Hills property located in northwestern Elko County, Nevada and consists of fourteen (14) unpatented mineral claims.
The Company made an application to the OTCBB to list its securities and the Company commenced trading May 6, 2004, on the OTC BB under the symbol CVTU.
Plan Of Operations
The Company has completed Phase I and Phase II of the exploration program on the Burner Hills Property. The Company has commenced Phase III of the exploration program. The total Phase III budget is $13,000. A fill-in soil grid to compliment the soil orientation grid was completed in August of 2003. To date the IP geophysical survey has not been conducted and would cost an additional US$10,000. Phase IV would be a 600 meter (2000 feet) drilling program that would cost US$40,000. The total budget for completion of these two phases would be US$50,000. It is intended that John Rice, consulting geologist will perform all exploration activities on the Burner Hills property as directed by the Board of Directors.
Senate Capital Group Inc. has advanced $10,000 in order for the Company to proceed with its Plan to commence Phase III of the exploration program. We anticipate that Phase III of the recommended geological exploration program will cost approximately $13,000 however, the Company has not yet completed Phase III of the exploration program.
The Company may do an equity private placement to friends and family, relatives, and business associates. This private placement offering would be completed pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of the British Columbia Securities Act and would be completed pursuant to Regulation S. The offering will be conducted by officers and directors of the Company. The financing may involve shares of common stock and share purchase warrants. The private placement may include existing shareholders of the company and or officers and directors of the Company.
We had $7,798 in cash reserves as of September 30, 2004 and a working capital deficit of $54,061 as of September 30, 2004. Phase III of the exploration program has not been completed. The total budgeted cost of Phase III is $13,000.
We will assess whether to proceed to Phase IV of the recommended geological exploration program upon completion of an assessment of the results of Phase III. In making this determination, we will review the conclusions and recommendations that we receive from Mr. Rice based on his geological review of the results of the first three phases. In making this determination, we will make an assessment as to whether the results of Phase III are sufficiently positive to enable us to obtain the financing necessary to proceed. If we decide to proceed with the fourth phase of the recommended exploration program, we will have to raise additional funds as the anticipated cost of this fourth phase, which would include a drilling program, is
12
$40,000. The anticipated cost of the fourth phase of the exploration program is in excess of our projected cash reserves remaining upon completion of Phase III. We anticipate that we could start Phase IV if we determine to proceed with this phase and we are successful in raising the required financing. We would apply to the Bureau of Land Management for the permit required to enable us to proceed with the fourth phase, which would include a drilling program, once we had raised the financing necessary for us to proceed with this fourth phase. We anticipate that we would apply for this permit approximately two months prior to proceeding to commence the fourth phase.
We anticipate that additional funding required to fund future phases of our exploration program will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund additional phases of the exploration program, should we decide to proceed with any additional phase beyond phase three. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding future phases of our exploration program.
If we determine not to proceed with additional exploration on the Burner Hills mineral claims based on the results of Phase III, then we anticipate that we will pursue the acquisition of an interest in an additional mineral property. We anticipate that any acquisition of an interest in an additional mineral property would be made by the acquisition of an option to acquire an interest in the mineral property that would be exercisable by our completing exploration work on the property and making payments to the underlying vendors. We anticipate that the acquisition of an option in a mineral property would be our only feasible plan of operations, as we anticipate that our financial resources after completion of phase three will be insufficient to acquire a full ownership interest in a property of merit. There is no assurance that we would be able to acquire an interest in any additional mineral property or achieve the additional financing necessary for us to proceed with exploration if an interest in an additional mineral property was acquired. Our reasons for pursuing the acquisition of an additional property if we do not continue with exploration of the Burner Hills mineral claims would be to create value for our shareholders, although we anticipate that shareholders would suffer dilution if we were able to achieve additional financing to explore any new property.
We had cash in the amount of $7,798 and a working capital deficit in the amount of $54,061 as of September 30, 2004. We will require additional financing to fund our operations for the next twelve months.
We plan to pursue additional financing in order to fund our plan of operations. We anticipate that any financing would involve private placement sales of our common stock. We can give investors no assurance as to whether we will achieve the financing required to continue our plan of operations or whether the financing will be completed as we are planning. If we do not raise any additional financing at this time, then we will not be able to continue our plan of operations.
Even if we are successful in completing our current exploration program and we receive positive results, we will still have to undertake an extensive and expensive drilling program to determine the extent of mineralization on the Burner Hills mineral claims. Even if this further exploration is successful, we will have to undertake expensive engineering and feasibility studies.
If we do not obtain additional financing necessary to conduct continued exploration, we may consider bringing in a joint venture partner to provide the required funding. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner. In addition, we cannot provide investors
13
with any assurance that we will be able to locate a joint venture partner who will assist us in funding our exploration of the Burner Hills mineral claim.
Results of Operations for the Three month period ended September 30, 2004 and the three month period ended September 30, 2003
We did not have any revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2004 or the nine month period ended September 30, 2003. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our mineral properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $6,619 for the three month period ending September 30, 2004, compared to $6,763 for the three period ending September 30, 2003. Our loss for the quarter ending September 30, 2004 was comprised of our operating expenses which consisted of professional fees, office and sundry, office facilities and services and exploration expenditures. We are an exploration company and do not have any revenues to date.
We incurred exploration expenditures during the three month period ended September 30, 2004 in the amount of $1,869.
We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributable to our continuation of Phase III and the completion of Phase IV of our geological exploration program if we choose to commence Phase IV, and ongoing operating expenses will also increase due to complying with ongoing reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
We incurred a loss in the amount of $6,619 for the three month period ending September 30, 2004 compared to $6,763 for the three month period ended September 30, 2003. Our losses were attributable entirely to our operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $7,798 as of September 30, 2004, compared to cash of $10,143 as of June 30, 2004. We had a working capital deficit of $54,061 as of September 30, 2004, compared to a working capital deficit of $47,442 as of June 30, 2004.
Senate Capital Group, a private company controlled by Mr. Dennis Higgs, one of our officers and directors, advanced to us the funds necessary to enable us to commence Phase III of the exploration program to the extent that we have insufficient cash reserves necessary to pay for this expense. This commitment to advance funds is capped at a maximum of $13,000, being the budgeted cost of Phase III. Any funds would be advanced to us as a loan repayable on demand without interest. Senate Capital Group has advanced $13,000.
We had accounts payable of $61,859 as of September 30, 2004. Of this amount, $42,500 was owed to Senate Capital Group. Senate Capital Group has agreed to defer payment of this amount in order to enable us to proceed with Phase III of our recommended exploration program. We anticipate spending $12,000 over the next twelve months in connection with our
14
office and facilities contract with Senate Capital Group. We do not anticipate making any other payments to Senate Capital Group over the next twelve months, other than payment of the deferred management fees outlined above. Carletons payment of these deferred management fees will only be made if we achieve sufficient additional financing that would enable us to pay these accrued liabilities without impeding our exploration plans. We entered into a legally binding agreement with Senate Capital Group effective December 31, 2002 whereby Senate Capital Group has agreed to defer payment of accrued liabilities in the amount of $26,500 and its monthly management fee of $1,000 per month until such time as we achieve sufficient additional financing that would enable us to pay these accrued liabilities without impeding our exploration plans.
We will require additional financing in order to enable us to proceed with any further exploration of our mineral claims. We have no arrangements in place for any additional financing and there is no assurance that we will achieve the required additional funding.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent to the quarter end Mr. Paul Saxton, P. Eng joined the Board of Directors. Mr. Saxton is a mining engineer who also holds an MBA from the University of Western Ontario. He has been active in the mining industry since 1969, holding various positions including mining engineer, mine superintendent, and President and CEO of numerous mining companies. Following 10 years with Cominco, Mr. Saxton became Vice President and President of Mascot Gold Mines Ltd., initially working on the design and construction of the Nickel Plate gold mine in British Columbia. Subsequently Mr. Saxton became a Vice-President of Corona Corporation where he was responsible for western operations and exploration for the company and was instrumental in the re-opening of the Nickel Plate Mine. In 1989, Mr. Saxton was appointed Senior Vice President of Viceroy Resource Corporation where he was responsible for helping to obtain financing and the construction and operation of the Castle Mountain mine in California. At Loki Mr. Saxton was responsible for arranging over $45 million in mine financing and bringing the Brewery Creek Gold mine into production. In 1996 Loki, Baja and Viceroy merged and continued under the Viceroy name. Following his departure from Viceroy in 1998, Mr. Saxton became President of Standard Mining Corp., organizing the company and supervising its exploration activities until 2001.
The Company is pleased to have Mr. Saxton with his vast mining experience and knowledge join the Carleton Board.
ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2004, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal quarter. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Dennis Higgs and Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Aileen Lloyd. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management to
